We recognize the diverse needs and culture within St. Albert and want to come from a place of non judgment for wherever you are at in your journey.
Our psychologists in St. Albert are dedicated to giving everyone the personalized attention and guidance they deserve to help them feel more confident in their life choices and more equipped to overcome the challenges of daily life.
I am a humanistic therapist with a Bachelor’s in Social Work (BSW) and completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MACP). My passion lies in fostering authentic connections and supporting individuals on their unique journeys toward self-discovery and personal growth.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of not quite fitting in or found it challenging to discuss your mental health openly? These are common experiences influenced by various cultural and social factors that may not always be immediately apparent. My personal journey, which these experiences have shaped, has given me a unique perspective on our diverse culture.
I am keenly interested in exploring cultural factors and social identities in mental health and well-being. I aim to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel truly heard, seen, understood, and valued.
My approach to counselling is not just a profession but a genuine desire to support others on their path to healing and growth. It is grounded in empathy, openness, and a commitment to creating a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. What truly fuels my passion is my eagerness to learn and grow alongside my clients.
My journey in counselling began with a deep curiosity about the human mind and the complexities of human behaviour. Through my experience in various settings, I’ve learned the importance of personalized support and creating a safe, supportive environment for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings.
I’m dedicated to applying these principles and the knowledge and skills I’ve gained in my studies to assist you in overcoming challenges and reaching your full potential. You can expect me to listen attentively, understand your unique experiences, and provide guidance tailored to your specific needs. Together, we’ll work towards your goals and help you feel truly seen and understood. Let’s embark on this journey towards healing and understanding.

Often clients seek therapy for positive and lasting change or support during difficult times. Change is made when we feel safe, confident and secure. I utilize a holistic and person-centered approach to build a positive therapeutic relationship. Creating connection via the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for positive growth, achieving goals and improved health and wellness. I strive to create a supportive, warm and trusting environment where each client feels seen, heard, understood and equipped to create the life they want.

My passion for helping others started with working in homeless shelters. This experience instilled a passion to hear people’s stories and recognize each person as unique and valuable. One of the most difficult times that has shaped much of my journey as a therapist is my own journey being diagnosed with a critical illness near the end of my Masters Degree. Thankfully treatment with a Bone Marrow Transplant work along with amazing support along the way helped me overcome.
One of the ways I recovered was my own work through EMDR Treatment; which I have not only benefitted but been able to utilize and help others heal.

Hello! I am Jilynne, a radically honest therapist who appreciates humor and swearing (if you’re into that). My primary goal in the early stages is to create a space that feels incredibly safe for you. So many people feel stuck and don’t know how to move forward. I can help you look at things from many perspectives (emotional wounds in childhood, harmful thinking patterns, major life changes, and more) so that you no longer feel at a crossroads in life.
I specialize in working with clients struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and meaning-making. My approach is integrative, consisting of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR, and elements of solution-focused therapy. Because each person is SO different, the approach used in sessions will be based on your unique concerns!
Since I will learn a lot about your life, I would like to share a bit about my own. I recently completed my Master’s through Yorkville University and am now a Provisionally registered psychologist. I was born and raised in Edmonton and am married with two cute (but very barky) fur children. I view myself as adventurous in the sense that I will try almost any activity at least once, some not more than once. I enjoy tapping into my playful, childlike side through dancing and singing. I also appreciate moments of stillness and calm such as by taking long, peaceful walks or immersing myself in a novel.
I know that therapy can be scary and vulnerable, and taking this first step can be so overwhelming. Just know that I see you. Not only do I see the challenges that you face, but I see the strengths you already possess. Are you ready to take this journey with me?

When you turn to us for counselling services in St. Albert, we will make our best effort to ensure you are working with compassionate, empathetic professionals who want to help you succeed in life, no matter what comes your way. It is always important for us that you are getting the most out of your counselling sessions and this means that you feel it is a good fit with your therapist so that you can be supported in your journey in the best possible way.
You may find that it is impacting your physical health, which means getting sick more, impact on sleep and possibly even lacking energy and drive.
You might be thinking that the difficult journey you have gone through should be resolved by now because it has been a number of years.
If anything it would be nice to have some kind of treatment that you don’t have to keep going from therapist to therapist and not finding a good result. I would sure be nice if you could just enjoy life without this holding you back.
We have been able to see people heal from the impact of traumatic events through treatments like EMDR therapy which can provide so much relief for those who have been battling symptoms of anxiety and distress for so long.
Each of us have experience with Couples and Individuals, and want to offer you hope that you do not have to walk this alone.
An easy way of seeing if a therapist is a good fit, is to do a 20 minute consult.
Your mental health is critical to your overall health and wellness. At iMentalHealth Counselling Services, in St. Albert we provide individual counselling and couples counselling you may need to help you to live your best life.
Sometimes clients will come to us with a request for Christian based counselling and if this is something that is important to you, we can help to incorporate this into our approach. We want to give our clients the guidance they need to improve their lives and learn how to cope with the challenges they face daily, and that may involve the vital role of faith and spirituality. If incorporating a Christian perspective is important to you there is an option to request this in your consult or inquiry by email/phone. Whether you need assistance from a Psychologist, Social Worker, or simply need someone to talk to, we invite you to schedule a session with one of our experienced, compassionate professionals.
Many people have come to me saying that they have had a bad experience with psychologists and counsellors in the past, which is frustrating because it might make you hesitant about reaching out for help. The other thing to think about is that sometimes, there are therapists that you are just not going to click with and that is just the way things are.
If this is you, it may be helpful to have a consult over the phone to discuss what you are looking for, while also allowing you to ask questions. This is not a therapy session, but a chance to inquire and get a feel for the fit. I believe that a good relationship and authenticity are important in therapy, and would like you to have a better experience with us.
Send us an email, call or book a consult on our booking app.
If you are unsure of which service area to book, you can simply book an individual or couples appointment and specify with your therapist in your intake what it is you are wanting to work on. Our categories are a way of helping explain our approach to different presenting issues. It is also not limited to these areas. Also if you are in need of immediate support please call the distress line or 811 to reach someone immediately. Thank you for visiting our site.
